I am compelled to point out that in one of the info pages, the site includes screenshots of a conversation with ChatGPT where the author claims to trick AI detection by generating text with a lower temperature. But asking ChatGPT, through the LLM interface, to lower the temperature doesn't lower the temperature. There's no mechanism for it to do so. It may have some (nevertheless real) placebo effect, because the LLM thinks it should behave different and assigns some vague "meaning" to "temperature" -- but this isn't a technical change to the model operation.
